I love Luna and treasure every episode that features her, when I found this lovely creation I was driven to admire it in detail. The colors match her original design and the fact of adding a dark cloud completes the whole scene, alongside the dark skies that are linked to her powers and essence too.

However, when admiring her in detail I was speechless when I saw her smile, rather than showing happines it overloaded me with sorrow, in one second my mind went to the sonh Children of the Night, an epic but sad melody made by Luna herself to provide us with good dream at night.

Right now I wish there was a way to make her feel better and the more I think of it the more I realize how strong her face is here, all my attention is no focused in her face alone, as I said I wish there was a way to make her feel better already.

This drawing is marvelous and I can totally hear Luna singing, superb skills my friend, simply amazing. Somehow, I think Luna sings in order to get rid of all those negative feelings that torment her since she became Nightmare Moon and still haunt her mind from time to time. Simply put, her face tells the whole story.

Ok I'm making a character sorta like luna and nightmare moon would have been a good name but that would be copying so does anyone know some names similar to nightmare moon I could use? also awesome picture

I tend to think following the "Luna Eclipsed" episode way back in Season Two that Luna is now "the princess of the younger generation". That while the older one may still fear and distrust her a bit, the younger ones see her as "approachable" and more "their" princess as compared to Celestia. It might help that line of thought that there have been two separate episodes where Luna specifically appeared before children to get them to deal with their problems. (I also thought it was a nice touch that she showed up to Sweetie Belle in Season Four under those circumstances...as if to say "don't end up like I did".)
